DIPLOMATIC ANGLERS
DROPPING THEIR LINES TO CAPTURE
THAT FISH QUESTION.

The First Exchange of Opinions Takes

Done-National Bank Legislation sug-
gested - Endicott Seeking Quietude-
Official Gleanings.
WASHINGTON CRY, Nov. 29-The fishery
convention, after an adjournment of five
days, reconvened at noon Monday, and a
written reply to the points and questions
raised in the brief submitted by Secretary
Bayard when the convention first met was
handed to the American commissioners by
Mr.. Chamberlain The adjournment Of five
days was given to enable the English side to
prepare the answer.
Written statements will be the course
adopted by each side The meetings will be
given over to discussing the points of differ
ence but the battle will be really fought on
paper The statement first submitted to the
convention by the secretary of state set
forth all the grievance OF the American
side. These were answered Monday. This
preliminary skirmishng will slowly lead up
to what is admitted BY those behind the
canvas to be the big bone of contention, and
the one over which the real fighting will takt
place, and that is whether American boat
can enter Canadian harbors as both fishert
and traders. Canada will hold that they can
not, and will fight vigorously to have this
view maintained. The convention adjourned
until noon on Wednesday
Among the publications that have recently
come into the possession Of the state depart
ment touching the subject of the fisheries is
Canadian book containing much official
correspondents between the Canadian and
English governments which was to a certain
extent unknown to the American nsgotiatoi s,
and which is expected to prove of value in
the handling negotiations.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
A Question That Is Still Agitatius the
Chicago Anarchistic Mind.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2a-Ths following extracts
from an article in the Sunday issue of The
Arbeter Zsitung are interesting at this junct-
ure, as there has beeen some question whether
celebration such as the Central Labor I'M
ion and a number of singing and turning so
cieties intend to have on Dec TO- would lead
to any trouble. Referring TO the attempts to
prevent any speaking at such a meeting, the
paper says: THE committee which has rented
Battery D hall for the grand celebration on
Dec. 10 is compelled to fight this insidious
mob, which, in the full consciousness Of its
guilt, dare not approach its honest opponents
openly, but only tries to obstruct their way
by trickery 1t is sad that such things can
happen, but it is elevating that on Friday
evening the delegates Of the nine turning so
cieties declared as one man as follows:
1t is our duty as Turner'S to protect freedom Of
speech As thirty years ago our brothers of the
Cincinnati Turngemunde considered 1t their duty
to protect the noble Wendell Phillips with their
bodies against a mob that had a majority, but
was governed by stupidity and vilainy; as they
were ready to give up blood and life for the con
stitution and the liberty of speech guaranteed by
1t, thus we will also stand fast and true, when
John Clay steps on the platform and speaks to
the working people of the past, present and fu-
ture
These were true turner's that spoke in that
strain, and we entertain the firm hope thai
those turner's also who are in minority in
the so-called conservative societies will b
sound on this question; that they will also
know where their place is If anybody, who
ever it may be, should make a frivolous,
reasonable attempt-an attempt deserving
of death-to outrage the rights OF the people.
But it will not come to this"
The article goes on to say that the Citizens
association will not let it come to this for
lack Of courage. That organization would
not so soon after the 18th of November "pro-
woke riot, the termination of which would
be at least doubtful

WASHINGTON reports represent

WASHINGTON reports represent the
president and Mr.. Carlisle as engaged
in earnest discussion over the revenue
policy to be advocated during the coming
session. 1t may be inferred from this
that the ex-speaker is giving himself no
concern about the Fictitious contest for
his seat engineered by Lawyer CIPHER.
The ruling party could lose almost any
man in public place with less serious
consequences than Mr. Carlisle, BE is
not only the leading mind in his party
he is the most perfect speaker that ever
filed the chair. 1t is true that he would
be of immense service to his party on the
floor in the sharp debates that the ques-
ton of disposal of the surplus is bound
10 bring about, but while he cannot take
q direct part in the discussion he can
bring great and legitimate weight to bear
on sound adjustment of the problem

RESULT OF THE OIL INQUIRY.

Embrace an Opportunity.
WASHINGTON CITY, Nov 29-The most
interesting testimony in the Standard Oil
case before the interstate commission Mon
day was given by Mr.. Murray. general
freight agent of the Iron Mountain and Mis-
souri, Pacific lines He said ten years ago
the only demand for cotton-seed oil was from
abroad, whence it came back to us as olive
oil The Inauguration Of the tank-car sys-
TEN OF transporting petroleum to the south
afforded a cheap means of getting cot
ton seed oil TO the north in
tank cars, which would otherwise
return empty, and the result has been the
enormous development of crude oil produc-
ton in all parts of the cotton-growing region.
The oil was taken to northern refneries,
whence it comes to the market as lard and
table oil. 1t would thus seem to have given
rise TO new manufacturing industries in the
north.
The hearing was postponed to January 10,
1885 The testimony so far seems to prove
that the railways all give low rates when
tank cars are used, and that the Standard
Oil companies are the only ones whose plants
enable them to take advantage of the low
rates.
